Better than expected,

I have headphones on most of the day - every day. I was looking for a new pair, because the previous, behind the head, style really irritated me. So, I researched for quite a while before I found these. I was looking for a pair that was NOT over the ear, since I didn't want that weight and feel all day long. I was also looking for the single wire from one side and volume control. I would have settled for less, but luckily found these.
I am extremely impressed with the sound blocking. I was absolutely shocked at how much sound is blocked. It just doesn't seem possible, considering their small size. It's kinda weird actually. Because I wear them all day, there are times when the noise blocking is actually a hindrance, so I wind up moving one side off the ear so I can hear my surroundings. It's not ideal, but that is not the fault of the headphones.
They are very comfortable. I can literally wear them for 8 hours straight without the least bit of...Read more

A solid pair of portable headphones,

I bought these as a replacement for my broken PX 200s 1st edition. My experience with the 1st gens was that they were great overall, although they had the following cons:
1. The cable was made up of two individual wires. This meant that the cable would get tangled upon itself and just about every time id put them on, I would have to spin the cable around to get it straightened
2. The cable split to both ear pieces. This resulted in the cable always being directly under your chin which could at times be awkward
3. Extended use (1 hour or more) made my ears get sweaty, regardless of volume
The 2nd gens have corrected each of the above mentioned issues. The cable is one solid wire, meaning no tangles. The cable only connects to the LEFT ear piece, meaning that the wire goes down more gracefully by the side of your face. Ive worn them to the gym 3 or 4 times, and have not experienced much ear-sweat, if any.

Great closed headphones.,

These headphones are great for on ear closed headphones. These do not block all outside noises but they do muffle them and they also do not leak music as to disturb others around you. Great for desk use at work. The headphones can also be used safely while jogging outside because they still allow you to hear things around you, just not as much as open headphones. The sound quality is excellent and much improved over the original PX 200s. The in line volume adjustment comes in very handy. The cord also comes out of the left ear piece which is also a very nice feature. The cord is a different texture that feels really smooth and elegant. These are very sturdily built and are much sturdier than the former PX 200s. Skip the PX 200s and purchase the PX 200-IIs. You will not regret this great Sennheiser purchase.
